With millions of players around the world and an undeniable influence on the culture of video games, Minecraft has been a remarkable trajectory since its inception. But do you know how the game came about?

When did Minecraft emerge?

The first version of the iconic game emerged in 2009 as an online project of the Swedish programmer Markus “Notch” Persson. Initially called the “Cave Game”, the game still did not count on the survival elements that made it famous, but already allowed the interaction with blocks in a Sandbox environment (game that allows players to create without defined objective).

The sales model was also innovative to what players could get the game yet without being finished and receive all future updates at no additional costs. This system, known as “early access”, later became a reference in the game industry.

After several updates and improvements, the “1.8” version was officially released on November 18, 2011. This release marked the inclusion of a final goal for the game, known as the battle against Ender Dragon.

In 2012, “Minecraft” arrived at Xbox 360 and expanded his success to the consoles. And in mid -2014, Notch It sold Mojang, the company responsible for the game, to Microsoft, and since then the technology giant has taken command of the cubes universe.

Remember that it is possible to play the original 2009 version of the game by the browser, although it is basic, for example, without monsters or the famous manufacturing of items.
